Two of China’s four classic novels, The Water Margin and The Three Kingdoms, revolve around armed revolt against the ancien regime. Revolt and revolution are built into Chinese history. Internal threats have repeatedly emerged from unexpected sources. Ironically, Yeltsin’s rise to power, i.e. a courtier who seizes the throne, while exceptional in Russia, was a recurrent event in Chinese history. During such events, peripheral regions have repeatedly gone their own way, as factional fighting took up the capital’s attention and funds.
